Main Traits:Laidback.Ruthless.Willful

Hometown: Dawn Island
Personality:
Like most humans , Damian is a complicated individual. On the outside is a laidback, jovial, humble and a moderately eccentric man that is willing to do anything to protect his nakama. On the inside dwells a sleeping monster . Sheer bloodlust, hatred for the world that he was forced to be born into a desire to maim, kill, rule by the law of only the strongest can survive. Anything in order to get his way, a never ending ambition with a dark, twisted personality that is willing to delve into any dark act if it means getting what he desires in the end.
I guess the best way to describe this young man is is to say that he has two faces in a way, one is his "true face" and the other is his "mask".However, Damian does not have a two different personalities he is just naturally skilled at suppressing any sign of some of his natural personality traits, making it a habit that he immediately shifts into without any issue.
Though usually, his 'mask' suppresses such dark tendencies and people only see what he wishes them too, Damian constantly shows a deceptively cunning and serious side when the situation warrants it. He commonly uses idle conversation and outward concern to distract his opponents, or just those that surround him in general to calm a situation, break someone down, or to trick them into doing what he wants revealing his manipulative and cunning nature. Despite his carefree attitude, he always speaks politely, but is sometimes sarcastic often heavily so when it is on a subject matter that he is passionate about. However, despite this he knows how to hold his tongue, and is an incredibly skilled actor good at making up stories on the fly, lying without any hesitation or need of forethought to fluidly make it believable and fit into his persona.
A slacker by nature, Damian often maintains a carefree, laid-back attitude about everything, even with achieving his goals . When others are stressed out or in a panic, Damian usually just mutters 'everything will work out' as a way of calming the situation and those around him. While normally calm, reserved and in control, Damian can exhibit merciless conviction when in the presence of anyone whose beliefs challenge his, making him very dangerous once provoked. Damian dosen’t is see the use in using such idiotic ideas like "morality" and similar notions. He would without hesitation, enslave, attack from behind, poison, use underhanded methods, assassins, and sacrifice an entire platoon to weaken a foe to maximize his own chances of killing the target.
Similarly, being known for dedicating years of his life to bond with a person, making them think he would die for them, spinning a complex web of lies, of a past life never lived, of dedication and focus all up to the point of making them sacrifice themselves at a dire point where he gets to run away smirking, as they die thinking they just used their life to save a dear friend. Similarly even if an individual is truly his friend, someone he considers dear to him, in the end he will always come first. It does not mean he doesn't love them . but it does mean that he will let them die, for his own benefit or even kill them himself to save himself, if he must. He may even cry as he drives the knife between their ribs
- History:
Our story begins on Dawn Island, long ago, with a young man named Dante D. Draco. The man was a well-known bounty hunter within certain underground circles as a brutal fighter that never killed, despite overwhelming force having no interest in becoming a warrior of justice and instead focusing entirely on the idea of simply fighting for money, and for fun. It was at this point that a young marine, woman named Anna Travis would patrol the island and watch the man beat down another. Assuming the man was about to kill, she intervened intending to drive the man back, only to find he matched her in power. Marking that he had been holding back immensely against the other man. Backpedaling and demanding his name, their story would begin with this meeting. From here she would often come by, visiting bringing the occasional snack. She found him interesting, as despite all his power he did the most useless, in her eyes, things.
A fool some would call him, and a man with a heart far too large would be another. He did not act like a killer. He acted like a kind man that would do what he could to help others. Anna pulled some strings and began to visit more often her general interest becoming something more ever so slowly as the years would tick by until eventually, he told her if she wasn't careful he'd end up having his way with her. The slap and blush as she exited the room painted the picture plainly, as did his laughter that filled the hallways of the building as she disappeared with a burst of soru. Six months later, Anna was four months pregnant off duty and highly questioned due to the unknown source of the father. Eventually, leading to the discovery of Dante and the .. forced attempt at drafting the man into the marine forces, that ended rather badly causing the pair to flee.
The pair escaped. Fleeing as both were now considered criminals to the Marines yet they were happy, both simply happy to have gotten out alive especially with their child. Happiness, elation, joy at the idea that. For Anna was feeling something beyond anything she had before elation, excitement, breaking the rules for the first time, doing what she wanted, taking hold of her own life. For the first time in years, her icy facade broke into a cheerful smile and Dante vowed silently to himself to keep that smile on her face as often as possible.
Years later the trio gathered a pirate crew, and they traveled together for many years they had no massive crew of servants, but instead were a singular large crew a family.His "Aunts" Elizabeth and Mizuki taught him how to fight, wrestle, and medical knowledge "BigBrother" Atlas taught him how to use a compass and navigate maps. His father and family always protected him, and never did he get captured or used against them as they sailed the seas until finally, there was a death in the Family, his uncle, Tecumseh. The death struck his father hard, and the crew decided to disband, as the family no longer felt whole without the songwriter and comical relief of the crew, the one that made them all smile. The crew went their separate ways, Elizabeth and Mizuki continued to sail the sea's and formed their own pirate crew becoming relatively big names until they settled after entering the New World. Atlas became a head scientist, learning from Anna and combining it with his knowledge of navigation to utilize weathermancy and went to Skypeia joining the government there as a pirate turned Marine.
At this, however, Dante and Anna remained hidden on a single unknown Island known as simply 'Rashmen Island' it was small barely notable and off the main course of the Grand Line Island. Here, Damian spent the next two years of his life adjusting and living with his parents in peace living a humble life in a cottage where they could be free. During this era of peace both Dante and Anna consistently and worked to do the best they could teaching the boy as much as possible as he continued to grow through the years. Damian would practice swordsmanship with his mother, different language skills and more while learning survival tricks, martial arts, hunting and similar aspects from his father. The forest became the boy's home, and as he sprinted through it as he always did the leather jerkin clinging to his young frame the boy would laugh happily to himself as he landed on a branch and looked down at the edge of his forest home.
As the time passed, and Damian reached the age of ten and finally told his parents his dream. He wanted to become a Marine of Justice, he wanted to make the world a better place knowing his parents used to be pirate, the boy expected them to be angered by this. Instead, he was scooped up and simply told that they were proud of him, and supported his decision. However, being the child of a pirate made it difficult he had been seen with the "Heavens Eye pirates" for many years after all.
As such .. Dante pulled a favor, and got an old enemy to take of his child as his student to be raised into a 'Strong Marine'. This man was someone whom Dante had spared many years ago when he could have ended his life, and in return for that debt, he would help Damian fulfill his dream and become a powerful marine to bring true justice and happiness, peace to the world. Damian training began from a young age of eleven, and the HalfFishman did not give the boy any quarter constantly being sent to the medical ward after being beaten by his master, covered in bruises, bumps, cuts and scrapes until he fell to his knees and could no longer get back to his feet. However, this harsh training pushed the boy to the point that he needed stronger and stronger, the boy quickly began to last far longer against his master.
After a year, Tetzou decided the boy was ready to officially apply to become a marine and watched with amusement as the instructor stared at the sky in shock, from the twelve-year-old boy having flipped him over his shoulder like a rag doll. He was approved for the position of Seaman Recruit, and his training did not halt. The boy spent his next four years of life training working and struggling desperately for rank and the approval of his master during this same time, the boy began to experience changes, and those same changes are what caused him to start to view his master's daughter Dahlia in more sense than just an 'icky girl'. Her personality, and eyes the shark-like smile that scared everyone else off, drug him toward her and on his sixteenth birthday, he finally asked her to become his own. However, for approval from her father he challenged him to a spar, nothing held back.
Captain Tetzou, accepted the challenge. Damian managed to withstand ten blows from the man and managed to slice his cheek open, before finally falling. Tetzou found it 'good enough' and allowed the relationship Dahlia was a Marine, determined to surpass her father in rank and power one day. Of course, the pair began to rapidly become known as the 'super noobies' of the marines corps rapidly gaining rank and power when working together over two years as they became closer and closer, finally at the age of eighteen when Damian was a Lieutenant, and she was an Ensign he asked her to truly be his own, offering a single slim ring that let to a night of passion. The result of that night led toward Dahlia having to temporarily take a leave of absence from the marines, and stay home as a pregnant mother with her own Mother while Tetzou and Damian continued to work along with their rankings of the marines.
Six months later, however, Damian finally experienced his first tragedy. He got a call from Tetzou, fuming with hatred and sorrow his unborn child, his fiancee, his mother-in-law to be, were dead. Brutally murdered from racial hatred while Tetzou and himself were not there to protect her. When Damian arrived, all he saw was .. parts. The memory would be ingrained in the once innocent young man's mind for eternity .. and the first seed of hatred was spread within his mind. That night Damian tracked down the killers, a group of men that hated Fishman purely because they were 'subhuman' and yet had more ranking than them .. a pregnant, innocent girl. The bodies were never found, only pools of blood remained.
After this incident, Damian suddenly was filled with a new drive his depression did not last long as his anger and hatred took him over. He wanted to destroy the corrupt sides of the government, but he didn't want the government to burn he knew there was still good within it. However, as Damian continued to train and grow quickly rising to the rank of lieutenant by the age of nineteen, he began to let go of his hatred and move on. He wanted to fix the government, to remove from power those that supported this twisted racism and try to better the world still. He was no longer the innocent he once was, but he had the self-control of himself once and drifted away into alcohol and depression having achieved the rank of lieutenant commander, but no longer holding the will to go on.As the years continue to tick by, he loses his best friend, this time at his own hands, forced to cut her down after she turned traitor, Damian soon makes a realization: The world cannot be fixed. Because it needs to be completely rewritten.
Being transferred to inactive duty to have time to himself and think about all that had happened he rented out a cottage and simply spent his time relaxing and thinking and fighting off the nightmares.Damian during this time in the cottage on Cactus Island, he met a young woman named Senna a local waitress at the bar on Velvet Peak that he frequented often drinking away his sorrows and trying to not sleep or think of his depression or problems. Often, she would come and talk to him nothing of the problems, just talk and it helped. Eventually, as the days ticked by, he began to open up more and despite his hatred was able to shove it away, and chain it into the depths of his soul. Slowly he was able to recover thanks to her, and he came less for the booze and more to simply see her, and as time passed and days became weeks he started to realize his feelings and fears he was simply trying to replace Dahlia. When she asked him to go out he admitted this, and she simply said, "And what's so bad about that? Is it so bad to love again?"
He had an answer but did not dare speak it. Because to a degree .. yes. Yes, it was. Slowly he relaxed however as the dates and days past and without realizing it he began to once more develop feelings for the simple girls, no drama, no powerful family simple farmers and priests that were happy to see him as long as he was polite. It was .. quaint, almost charming. He debated just leaving the Marines, and just living the happy quiet life it didn't seem so bad, with his physical abilities he could run a farm all by himself after all do all the work that normally took heavy duty machinery or oxen to do and get it all done without a problem with his Stamina. The idea appealed to him, no more blood no more struggle, and though he wouldn't complete his 'dream' he was starting to see how pointless that dream really was.
However, as if fate's way of telling him he would never have such a life when he was approaching their farm as he usually did, a familiar scent came to his nose. The scent of rust of blood. Fear. When he burst into the home to find their dead bodies with no note, no warning, nothing just a slaughter, he fell to his knees and did nothing for several long moments. For the next week, he spent searching for the killers for the reason they had died, and it turned out that several other farms had been hit. Pirates had come to the island and needed supplies, they had stolen and killed, taken what they wanted and left because who cared about the 'little mooks' after all.The captain was apparently a man named Seth...Seth of the red sand, a super rookie worth 210,000,000 berries. At that moment Damian swore from to find this man and avenge his loved ones.However Damian was anything but 'nice'.When it comes to getting payback,Damian is was silent but deadly poison.Killing this man would be too simple, this man had hurt him to much to get the easy way out.Damian was going to rip away everything the man loved until he understood the pain he felt once he lost his loved ones. Only then would he be allowed to die.

Re: Damian D. Draco
Mon Apr 10, 2017 10:09 pmMan, that is some dark and depressing history. I love it!
Just one thing though: I'm not sure what you mean in the physical description when you say "half a century of practicing swordsmanship" when Damian is only 24 years old.
Other than that (minus one spot where you referred to your character as "Gin" instead of Damian), everything looks great.

Being transferred to inactive duty to have time to himself and think about all that had happened he rented out a cottage and simply spent his time relaxing and thinking and fighting off the nightmares.Damian during this time in the cottage on Cactus Island, he met a young woman named Senna a local waitress at the bar on Velvet Peak that he frequented often drinking away his sorrows and trying to not sleep or think of his depression or problems. Often, she would come and talk to him nothing of the problems, just talk and it helped. Eventually, as the days ticked by, he began to open up more and despite his hatred was able to shove it away, and chain it into the depths of his soul. Slowly he was able to recover thanks to her, and he came less for the booze and more to simply see her, and as time passed and days became weeks he started to realize his feelings and fears he was simply trying to replace Dahlia. When she asked him to go out he admitted this, and she simply said, "And what's so bad about that? Is it so bad to love again?"
He had an answer but did not dare speak it. Because to a degree .. yes. Yes, it was. Slowly he relaxed however as the dates and days past and without realizing it he began to once more develop feelings for the simple girls, no drama, no powerful family simple farmers and priests that were happy to see him as long as he was polite. It was .. quaint, almost charming. He debated just leaving the Marines, and just living the happy quiet life it didn't seem so bad, with his physical abilities he could run a farm all by himself after all do all the work that normally took heavy duty machinery or oxen to do and get it all done without a problem with his Stamina. The idea appealed to him, no more blood no more struggle, and though he wouldn't complete his 'dream' he was starting to see how pointless that dream really was.
However, as if fate's way of telling him he would never have such a life when he was approaching their farm as he usually did, a familiar scent came to his nose. The scent of rust of blood. Fear. When he burst into the home to find their dead bodies with no note, no warning, nothing just a slaughter, he fell to his knees and did nothing for several long moments. For the next week, he spent searching for the killers for the reason they had died, and it turned out that several other farms had been hit. Pirates had come to the island and needed supplies, they had stolen and killed, taken what they wanted and left because who cared about the 'little mooks' after all.The captain was apparently a man named Seth...Seth of the red sand, a super rookie worth 210,000,000 berries. At that moment Damian swore from to find this man and avenge his loved ones.However Damian was anything but 'nice'.When it comes to getting payback,Damian is was silent but deadly poison.Killing this man would be too simple, this man had hurt him to much to get the easy way out.Damian was going to rip away everything the man loved until he understood the pain he felt once he lost his loved ones. Only then would he be allowed to die.
